agreed notwithstanding the very fact bron and wade havent been popped a decade deep into their careers is indicative in itself

All speculation. Innocent until proven guilty.

The athletic commission has shown to be more corrupt than the NBA (specifically their drug testing). Not to say that the NBA is corrupt.

Roman Brady would have a field day if GSP were to test positive for PEDs.

you don't think the nba is corrupt?

To my knowledge, there is no concrete evidence to prove otherwise. On the other hand, there is solid evidence that the athletic commission has done some very shady things.

Khabib needs to relax Cowboy is one of the last people that would run away from a fight.

I prefer Alvarez/Gil and Cowboy/Khabib

That's what makes dude so funny to me. He REALLY thinks he's the Deebo of the lightweight division, and everybody's shook and running from him.

Opinion on what? Whether or not I think using PEDs damages your legacy? Ask every baseball HOFer with a * next to their name if it did.

Look, I'm as big of a Silva fan as they come. Even defended him through those weird Cote, Leites, Maia fights. But unless they can prove these results are wrong, OR somehow go back and prove without a doubt that he wasn't cycling PEDs in any of his past fights, then it's just a matter of fact his legacy is tarnished.

Ummmmmm... They do... Hendo, Chael and all of them with PED or TRT in their history have asterisks in my book... We don't really scrutinize them as much because they're not in the conversation as GOATs. When you're in the realm of the GOATs, you get the magnifying glass treatment.

If someone on here starts arguing that Chael is one of the GOATs, let's see how quickly the TRT topic gets brought up..

If you really mean to assert that silva cycled PEDs and evaded the NSAC for damn near a decade vs he took something to accelerate the healing of his once broken leg and pissed hot just this fight, then you're a liar or just fukkin dumb.

Dude has to go back and prove his all his clean drug tests are clean? How does one go about this?

And Hendo is considered a legend in this sport and Rogan and Goldberg say it on the pre-fight of all of his fights. TRT hasn't effected his legacy at all not even to me.

But yall love playin stupid tho

Yet another high-profile fighter has failed a drug test, adding to this year’s rapidly expanding list of offenders.

The California State Athletic Commission today said onetime UFC and WSOF welterweight title challenger Jon Fitch (26-7-1) was flagged for an “adverse result” following a pre-fight drug test in connection with this past December’s WSOF 16, which aired on NBCSN.

The CSAC, which oversaw the Dec. 13 event at McClellan Conference Center in Sacramento, Calif., performed a CIR test on Fitch’s urine sample and confirmed the result. The commission declined to name the substance for which he was flagged. However, multiple sources close to the fighter indicated the test found elevated levels of testosterone.

MMA is getting it from all sides in 2015

At this point I'd be surprised if one single fighter is not on something :dumbass:
